Knight's Tale

OMG!  How is it that I'm always the last person in the world to see these things?

I laughed myself sick.  The "we will rock you" beginning was just brilliant.  I had no pre-conceptions and seriously thought it was going to be a sensible jousting coming of age story and was chucked into some mad world!  After I picked up my jaw from the floor I relaxed and just let myself go with it.

Absolutely briliant stuff.  What a great cast, too!  Alan Tudyk was absolutely brilliant, and strangely a lot taller than I'd seen him as in Firefly - perhaps that is because Zoe was so tall?  I loathed the bimbo Shannyn Sossamon and ok - other huge costuming innaccuries aside - what WAS she wearing?  At the first joust scene where she was talking to Sewell she seemed to be dressed as Audrey Hepburn.  Best I just imagine that it was an alternative earth history and leave it at that.

Anyway, really loved it.  How could I not with Rufus Sewell AND James Purefoy?  Someone needs to make a slashy programme with those two as lovers.  Now, please.

alone again, naturally.

The new Jane Eyre adaptation gets better and better. I'm an addict of the canon and this is a good good version. Ok so Rochester is not quite as ugly as he should be (you can never beat Orson for that) and Jane is nicely plain (far more than De Havilland) but it's clear that the director loves and knows the canon - knows how sensual it can be, how intimate it can be.

I've seen the trailer for "Wide Sargasso Sea" and am not impressed. It looks like Samuel West as Rochester. No no no. But then, I wasn't impressed by the book either.

I've also seen the trailer for "Torchwood" which is coming to BBC3 first. Oh hubba hubba it does look good.

It's been a bit of a bleak weekend. Don't know where everyone is!!!! (whine)
